Normally recent versions of XWin have reliable cut and paste between X
and Windows. The application I run under X is xemacs. But I recently
noticed that when triple-clicking a line of text in xemacs to select
the whole line and put it in the clipboard, I couldn't paste it into
Windows. The log file has some messages about UTF8String. Other
ways of selecting the same text in xemacs set the Windows clipboard
correctly. The text being pasted is just plain ASCII characters.
Here is the XWin.log showing a few attempts by me to select some text
by triple-clicking in xemacs and paste it into Firefox or Notepad. I
also found that for a little while after I'd stopped doing anything
XWin was still spewing 'XConvertSelection () failed' messages to its
log once or twice a second. But it stopped eventually.
Does the following log file have enough information or would you like
me to do some more investigation?
